Mahoningtown Seeks Curb Lights and Street Upgrades
Liberty street business leaders petitioned council to install curb lights from Clayton to the subway. Council sent the request to a committee and postponed action until cost estimates are obtained. Paving Madison Avenue with asphalt block was discussed but rejected for now due to insufficient signers. Mayor Tyler pushed asphalt over vitrified brick citing railroad workers’ daytime sleep needs. The city will also relocate Bell Telephone wires into existing ducts in three months. A Preston Avenue sewer request was referred to committee with consideration delayed by low street grade. A fire alarm box near Shenango Valley hospital was requested to be moved inside, pending ownership determination. Jack McKesson, former dog catcher, seeks an old job.
